The Concord Minutemen will square off against the Mishawaka Cavemen at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Concord 3, Mishawaka 3.4) so any runs scored will be well earned.
Concord is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Northridge just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Monday. They fell just short of the Raiders by a score of 1-0. The contest marked the first time this year in which the Minutemen were not able to get on the board.
Myles Jones spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up six Ks.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Mishawaka, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. They were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over Fairfield on Tuesday. Considering the Cavemen have won six matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Mishawaka also let their pitcher toss all five innings played and he was also dialed-in: Maddux Kuhnle gave up just two earned runs on three hits.
Mishawaka always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .519. The last time their OBP was this high was back in May of 2025.
Mishawaka has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games. As for Concord, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-4.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Concord has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.5 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Mishawaka struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Concord came up short against Mishawaka in their previous meeting two weeks ago, falling 6-3. Will the Minutemen have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
